I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Portland, OR) in Nov 2017
Interview
Phone Interview was about 35-40 minutes long. Questions were mostly about my research project and the types of equipment I used for research. At the end of the phone interview, within an hour, I received an email with the on-site interview invitation.
After about 5 weeks, the On-site interview started at 7:50 am and ended by 5 pm. I had 13 one-on-one interviews that lasted 30 mins each. I had a 1-hour research presentation in front of a group of 20-25 employees. Lunch was an informal meeting of 1.5 hours with 3 other employees.
I took with me the printouts of my research presentation slides that was very helpful in explaining my work during the one-on-one interviews.

Interview
Process begins with a phone screen with recruiter, followed by hiring manager discussion, then onsite interviews consisting of several one-on-one sessions, where candidates are usually expected to deliver a presentation.
It was pretty straightforward overall. They mainly asked questions about my resume, previous work experience, and the projects and research work I completed during my graduate studies. The conversation was conversational and focused on understanding my background and technical experience.
